“Masterpieces are not dependent on their age, and it does not matter how many times they have been played. Every year we witness the miracle of ageless nature renewing itself, and just as in spring everything blooms, so our spirits have a great need for ‘evergreens’ in music. This evening will be the eleventh occasion in the series of Hegedűs concerts at the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall. This bouquet of concertos, plucked from the Romantic repertoire which brings me such unbridled joy, I pr...esent to my Budapest audience of music lovers not in the customary dimension, but rather from the warmth of my overflowing heart. We need only recall that it was the inexplicably wonderful, uplifting flood of creative energy of Schumann, Chopin, our own Franz Liszt and many other Romantic composers which gave rise to an unparalleled flowering of music in Europe. It threw millions into a fever, encouraging a whole succession of generations not only to listen, but also to take an active part in creating music. The European Romanticism of the 19th century continues to draw the wonder of the entire world to this day: the masterpieces of the period still live and breathe life into others today. They give strength, revitalise and instil unflagging faith in the future for all of us – whatever nation or culture the listener was born into. I eagerly invite all those who yearn for this beautiful journey to be carried away on the wings of heartfelt sounds…” (Endre Hegedűs)
